I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

MWT – Park Ranger at Grand Canyon National Park North Rim

I have the Best job in the world! Or so I think.

I work four 10-hour days and get three days off. And work is like play for a Park Ranger at Grand Canyon National Park. Plus I’m seasonal by choice, so only work six months a year.

Western Tanager

My daily schedule is diverse, from working in the visitor center helping people plan their visit whether here for four hours or four days, to presenting programs about history, condors, geology, ecology, archaeology, paleontology. I know, that’s a lot of ologies. I call myself a generalologist.

Monday I went out on the Walhalla Plateau, after a few office chores.

Out at Cape Royal the flowers are blooming.

I was there two weeks ago and only saw a few yellow daisy-like flowers.

Now I’m enjoying the first of my three days off. Life is hard, but guess I’ll suffer through it. I sure hope you love your job (or retirement) as much as I do.

You gotta love a job like you have! Of course, I love retirement a lot too. I can do as little or as much as I feel like--some days it's very little! I love your flower photos. It's amazing how quickly wildflowers can go from nothing to gorgeous blooms.

If I did not wish you so well, I could envy you. You are truly blessed to be able to work where others go to play. Your working environment is spectacular and since you have found a soulmate, there is a bloom about you that warms my heart. Odd, I only started to get to know you and your indomitable spirit less than three years ago, yet I value you deeply as a true friend.

Hi Gaelyn, I'm catching up with you after a couple weeks off the computer. Looks like you have some lovely blooming there on the N Rim! I can't imagine a more majestic place to work! I'm glad you're an "ologist"... you've taught me a lot!
